X Abstract

We describe inertial effects in the dewetting of a low viscosity liquid (like water) deposited on hydrophobic solid substrates. The liquid dewets by nucleation and growth of a dry patch. We expect three regimes depending on the liquid viscosity, the film thickness and the static contact angle: (i) purely inertial (similar to the bursting of soap films); (ii) semi inertial, where dissipation occurs in a hydrodynamic boundary layer; (iii) purely viscous, for small contact angles, or very viscous liquids.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
